Hey liz! My anmes erin and i absolutely love the bet! I thought the chapter dedicated to jerry orbach was so sweet! He is by far my favorite detective from the ms, but i think john munch( and of course ed green, elliot and olivia) are pretty high up on my list for the whole l&o universe too! Im from chicago too, and it amazes me how many authors on this site are. Periphery and mariskarox are from chicago too. Anyway, gotta go! Go Cubbies!(well, maybe next year...lol). -erin : )

This is wonderful. For the first time in ages, I'm really into a fic and enjoying it. (I'll even forgive your typos here and there... LOL!) It's put together so well, the pacing is just right, the characters are written very well. I liked how you handled The Bet and Alex's "death." Nice work on all counts!
